Cuban Missile Crisis

With design elements including a Moscow-Washington hotline sticker seal and the U-2 spy plane, Cuban Missile Crisis playing cards commemorate a time when the world was at the brink of a full scale nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Inside a beautifully illustrated tuck box with artwork from Australia-based designer, Shira Bentley, each suit is depicted in a different colour-way and features Aces that represent key players in the Cold War confrontation; from President John F Kennedy, Secretary of Defence Robert McNamara to Soviet 1st Secretary Nikita Khrushchev and Cuban 1st Secretary Fidel Castro.
